Students would know immediately if they worked something correctly or incorrectly so thatthey could remedy their errors or misunderstandings before moving on to new material.In numerous ME curriculums, one or more senior-level courses may be dedicated to machine design. Aclassical way of conducting a first course in machine design often begins with a review of loads analysisand stress analysis that students may or may not have gained knowledge of and skill with during aprerequisite course, such as mechanics of materials. Having reviewed these topics in the first few weeksof the course and prior

The three stages of backwardsdesign [2] include identifying desired results (learning goals and objectives), determining acceptableevidence (assessments), and planning learning experiences and instructions (activities and materials).Rather than students learning for the sake of learning, they are given a clear purpose that ties to theiroverall course goals.

. Spatial ability trainings typically include activities involving 2D and 3D sketching,object rotation, scaling exercise, and object manipulation [5], [6]. A meta-analysis conducted byUttal, Miller, and Newcomb determined that spatial training is effective, lasting, and transferable[1]. Recently, virtual reality has been utilized to develop spatial training programs [8], [9], [10].Virtual reality programs have similar tasks as those of traditional spatial ability trainingprograms, however, they allow the user to more easily interact with the material. Virtual realitytraining programs have been shown to be effective, especially for students with initially lowlevels of spatial ability [8].There is evidence that engineering mechanics classes improve
